This sounds similar to a problem I reported a few months ago. This is the link. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/6fc1097d26083e43/5fbdf493f3c38942?q=&rnum=1&hl=en#5fbdf493f3c38942 In my case, it turned out to be a bug in the pyexpat module - it is known about, but for some reason difficult to fix, so it is still there. I found a workaround, which is documented in the above thread. HTH Frank Millman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
